Our Stories: Mapping Q

Mapping Q is an innovative community arts education program that invites LGTBQ+ youth to explore representations of self within the Museum and learn skills for life’s challenging moments. The participants map and juxtapose their life experience in response to the Museum and the work within it, in turn creating original works of art that add their unique voices and knowledge to the Museum. This program is a joint collaboration of Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation’s ALLY (Arizona Life Links for Youth) Suicide Prevention program and The University of Arizona Museum of Art.
If you are an LGBTQ youth who would like to get involved with the program, contact cjfarrar@email.arizona.edu.
